After #MeToo, Anoushka Shankar sparks #ImDone with post, Kalki, others back her

Anoushka Shankar just sparked off another online campaign by making a strong statement.

The trend of using #ImDone has got a more purposeful spin around it, thanks to Anoushka Shankar. Just ahead of Women’s Day, the composer made a strong statement, while challenging other celebs to join her in talking about what they are done with as far as gender inequality goes.

“I’m done with having relationships with men who are anything but proud and out and out complete feminists. I’m done with any negative influences into the lives of my sons which will impact their ability to grow up to be feminist men in the future,” Anoshka said.

She then went on to nominate a few people to continue this challenge, such as actors Alyssa Milano, and Kalki Koechlin. Kalki responded with a video. She said, “I’m done with saving the species or saving the environment being some sort of a feminine responsibility.” Kalki then nominated the likes of Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor. Sonam, however, just reposted Kalki’s message with a bicep emoji.

Actress Priyanka Bose, who was also nominated by Anoushka, took on the challenge. “I’m done not valuing the support structure I have because my child is being raised by an equally capable, nurturing and a feminist father. I’m done with the responsibility that women are solely responsible for being the nurturer and the caregivers and men are the sole providers for the family,” read a part of her caption on Instagram.
